Abstract:

The management of storm water runoff has been given considerable attention by regulatory agencies and practicing engineers in recent years. The current state of-the-art of storm water management practices tend to provide measures to maintain the peak rate of runoff and to also enhance the water quality. However, consideration is yet to be given to conserving the urban runoff. This paper presents a brief description of the impacts of urbanization on storm water runoff and offers suggestions for conservation and reuse of this important resource.
